Installation view of Train to Niebla, Yale University, New Haven CT, 2012.
Installation includes photographs and video shot while traveling throughout Chile, Brazil, and Easter Island. Observations of light and how it reflects, refracts, and fades intermix with more personal narratives of memory, time, and proximity. Work supported in part by the Alice Kimball English Traveling Fellowship from Yale University to photograph locations in South America specific to my father’s writing.

Train to Niebla, custom table sculpture housing a digital video projection. Video is projected onto angled mirrors (inside bottom shelf) that project the video both onto the facing wall and up through the magnification of my father’s reading glasses onto a tabletop of frosted plexiglass. The image seen on the plexiglass is refracted into spiraling points of light, an abstraction of what can be seen clearly on the wall. Digital projector, steel table, sintra, frosted plexiglass, fresnel lens, fathers glasses. Dimensions variable. 2012. Collaboration with Carlos Vela Prado
